FORKING THE WALLET AND BLOCKCHAIN.
http://www.reddit.com/r/flappycoin/comments/22c8y6/lets_release_the_new_wallet/
We waited long enough, devs didn't listen when we asked over and over and told them how to fix the code.
The current developer we have given months to fix stuff, and weeks to do the hard cap and halving. He's obsessed with doing it all himself and obsessed with getting games working for flappycoin. He's... A nutter at this point and has shown many times he's unwilling to do the work himself.
So let's fork the wallet software. You'll keep your coins, we'll get it out of the hands of bad developers, and we can release it with a hard-cap and changing pay out structure.
Looking at source only really seems like a hand full of edits/modifications only hard part is getting people to switch.
If the dev wants to step up to the plate and do it himself now that would be great, but at this point do we even trust anything he puts out?
First he asks what we want. We say "Hard capp, halve the reward, and stop being obsessed about games and exchanges"
We tell him...
His response? LET'S PUT AN EXCHANGE IN THE WALLET AND DEVELOP FLAPPY IN WALLET.
Let's face it, just because the name is flappycoin doesn't mean it needs to be entirely fucking based on flappybird game and trying to force it down peoples throats is kinda bad.
Hell doing a quick survey only 1 in 5 people like the game and rest find it annoying to see/play so why add it to a wallet for everyone? It's currency, games/exchanges are AFTERTHOUGHTS WHEN WE STABILIZE.
Anyway posting this in hopes we can get some traction to get this done, or maybe a few people that would be willing to help versed in coding aspects.
Topic: [ANN][FLAP] FlappyCoin ★ OLD/DEAD THREAD GO TO NEW ONE ★ - page 48. (Read 345285 times)
it says on the website "We are a group of developers in Vietnam. We contacted the owner of Flappy Bird game and he granted us all the rights to publish this coin using resources from the Flappy Bird game. Any other third party uses the resources is considered illegal."
i am against a takeover since we don't even know who you are and you already said you were hostile.
I will for sure remain on the current client. This coin will rise as soon the real devs turn up.
Also do i understand right that in effect you give us double amount of flappy then?
Because most if not all will remain on this chain (original flap)
but i could be running a second (hostile) client and dump the confusing hostile clone (flapz) on exchange and get extra bitcoin from fools? (after changing privatekeys for original flap of course) Is that right?
sorry i am noobish and confused. Can someone who is not hostile tell me what is going on?
also the original facebook-page has last activity like 2 weeks ago. So not too long. Maybe devs are just busy?
no need to be hostile against something you maybe don't understand. It didn't even halve once.

FlappyCoin at 8 satoshis on Poloniex. Why? Any news lately?
few cool games here!
could game creators contact me on PM ?
i hope FLAP doesnt die - i have over 1mil but.. oh well.. thats how it is.

Great coin. Love this coin.
It has no value and almost no support...what's great on this?This coin going to the MOON!!
FLAPPY COIN HOSTILE TAKEOVER
Well maybe not so hostile given the current Devs are currently AWOL and the coin has hit rock bottom... also it would not technically be a takeover but a hard fork (There is currently a team looking to do just this with Litecoin). This has been proposed a few times in this thread, but I think it might be worth doing. Details below:
How would it work?
Technically it is not that difficult, the real hurdle is in the implementation and adoption. As the scrypt is all open source a new wallet can be created and a block number set to hard fork the coin. As of that block all users would be required to update their wallet and mine on the new fork.
New Dev/Team
These members would have to be agreed, and not just to cover technical side but anyone with enthusiasm and time to spare. It would also present an opportunity to change any details of the coin we wanted, block reward, difficulty retarget (adopt digishield?), scrpt algorithm (X11?), total number of coins etc. etc. Any ideas/innovations could also be built into the wallet or planned for a later update.
It may also be worth contacting the other set of Devs who were going to release a Flappy Coin until this one jumped the gun, they still hold a lot of the flappy website addresses and given the circumstances would probably be happy to help.
In order to avoid confusion it might also be worth changing the name slightly so people can be sure which fork they are on, (FLAPZ?)
Pool Operators and Exchanges
We would need the cooperation of pool operators to either agree to replace their flappy wallet with the our new version and advertise the mandatory update, or alternatively they could run both a FLAPZ and FLAP pool in unison. I don't see it being a problem getting at least a few pools running in time for the fork. As for exchanges, again probably not an issue getting listed on the B-list ones early on, but like any other coin it needs community support, liquidity and value to get listed on the larger exchanges ... which can come with time.
Personal Wallets
After updating your wallet you will inherit all your existing FLAPs you mined/purchased prior to the fork, which would now be FLAPZ. After this point only mining/transfers between the new wallets would be recognised by the new fork and it would not be possible to transfer coins between FLAP and FLAPZ chains.
It is also possible to keep both wallets in the short term, so if you had 1 Million FLAPs before the fork, you would still have 1 million FLAPs after the fork + 1 Million FLAPZ in the new wallet on the new fork.
Adding value and direction
This is not worth doing if the end result is just a clone of flappy coin. The coin needs ideas and innovations, many which have been suggested in this thread, agreeing these and a direction is a must.
Currently FLAPs price is about as low as it could be and the mining difficulty is really low. So everyone would have the chance to mine and buy coins before the fork, which should help with an even distribution. After the fork there will also be over 50% of coins left to be mined so scope there to.
Way forward ...
STEP 1: This idea needs support so copy this and add your comments in this thread
STEP 2: Agree on the Devs and Team leaders
STEP 3: Modify the code, create the wallet and set a block number for the fork
STEP 4: Ensure pools are available and new website etc.
STEP 5: Count down the blocks and see what happens ...
So will you make a fortune off this, maybe not, but as a Flappy holder you have nothing to lose and if nothing else it would prove an interesting experiment in this ever evolving cryptocurrency landscape.

It seems the fork and takeover is the only option at present. Nothing to loose and all to gain as far as i see it!
+1 from me!!!

Hi thanks for your effort do you know how to do a promotion like that in facebook?
https://twitter.com/kingscrownBTC/status/452286490400538625
im doing giveaway on twitter of flappies.
im doing giveaway on twitter of flappies.
so the coin wont ever hit 2 satoshi ?
Not as is ... but with a takeover who knows, 20+ should be achievable.
take over now.
we will donate to the new team.

can't agree with you more.
1. cap it
2. havle it
3. digishield
4. change algorithm to something new
keep waiting and holding
so the coin wont ever hit 2 satoshi ?
